Expert Reviews

93 Points | International Wine Cellar , March/April 2013

(from vines averaging 51 years of age):  Full ruby-red.  Inviting aromas of blackberry, black cherry, licorice, menthol and mocha.  Densely packed and silky, with superb intensity to the high-pitched dark berry flavors.  Wonderfully sexy and velvety wine with terrific lift and sappiness.  With its very firm spine of noble tannins and ripe acids, this beauty will mellow with time in bottle.  The lush, very long finish makes the Beso de Dante come off as dry and lean by comparison.
